This sangria takes five to 10 minutes to assemble in a large pitcher. Take the time to prepare it in the morning so the sangria has several hours to develop its fruity flavor. Pull it out when dinner is ready to serve that evening.

Season after season, I continue to be captured by the multicolored array of carrots that can be found at the farmers' market in all shapes and sizes, and am always looking for new ways to make them shine. Coriander and carrots make music together as a complement for meaty halibut. Dip your toe into the exotic flavors of Indian spices like coriander and turmeric with this lively, colorful spring supper so pretty you'll want to bring out your finest platter and pour some wine for two.

Ahh, Moody’s has the best onion rings I’ve ever had. We actually brought some home with us on the plane and I still enjoyed them the next day when they were sort of soggy. Then I couldn’t get onion rings out of my head and decided it was about time I try to make some at home. Now, I knew there was no way I could replicate the deliciousness of Moody’s golden fried onion rings, so I decided to bake mine instead and give them a special pizza twist.
